Story of the piece
Mouchão Abafado Fortified Wine
Stopped in time
Mouchão is in Casa Branca, in the municipality of Sousel. Abafado has been made on the estate since the winery was built, in 1901.
The best Alicante Bouschet grapes are picked by hand and trodden by foot in stone lagares. They are left to macerate slowly until fermentation begins. Then a limited amount of grape juice is drained and grape brandy is added, stopping fermentation when the wine has the desired sugar. 19% alcohol by volume and a round, soft sweetness, with red fruit very present in a long finish.
It is drunk young, especially from December of the harvest year. It is part of the tradition of the north-east Alentejo and is served as a dessert wine or aperitif. It also goes well with coffee.
Filipe and Vanessa, from Mercado Alentejano, chose Mouchão's abafado, and at Ra-Ro it has been keeping our after-dinner coffees company.
